Spoken like a true noob. I found these helpful when I was making pennies just like you. How else can I know if my content is being read and upvoted? How else can I know if my earnings are going up when they are so small that I can't tell the difference?
Have you ever considered that you are earning pennies because you have nothing to do with them? I started using most of these tools from day one so I can track if I'm making progress. I'm just sharing what worked and why it worked. If you don't see or understand the value in them that's OK. Steem on my friend.
I didn't mean that these tools are of no use for newbies, rather my point of view was that they would be more useful once someone gets some $$.
I apologize for not choosing the right words, my intention wasn't to degrade your efforts, it was a good post, very good one but what I think using steemnow.com is enough for newbies like me. And that's what I think, I might be wrong.
Keep up the good work!
No worries. Perhaps I was a bit harsh sounding too which I didn't mean to be. But these tools were a great help to me from the very beginning, even when I was making pennies.
They showed me that I was indeed making progress, albeit very slowly, on Steemit so I wanted to share them with all these new users who may find them useful.
As painstakingly slow as the progress seemed to be, something amazing happened around the 9th to 10th month of consistent posting and refining of my posts. I illustrate this in this post and the tools revealed it.
This seems to be the case with many successful Steemian's and is not unique to my blog at all.
Pretty freaking awesome. Im looking forward to that 10 month marker.
Ill be like this
If you look like that then I would like to buy you 10 drinks right now.
hahaha that would be great, but 2 is my limit. Im a bit of a light weight when it comes to drinks.
In addition I look nothing like that. I only wish.
hahaha...true to the name too I see...~smiles fer miles~
No worries @luzcypher, will be using all these tools from today.
